Commercial description:

Summer is here! The perfect time to release a single hop Saison that is an ode to warm summer days. We brewed this light pale Saison with Sorachi Ace hops. This unique hop variety originated in Japan and is known for its distinct lemony characteristics, a perfect counterpoint to our peppery Saison house yeast. This refreshingly zesty Saison has a lemony floral aroma with flavors of bright citrus, ginger, and a hint of herbal tea. Pairs well with a vigorous, sweaty Sumo wrestling match. 6.9% ABV
